(57) Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide a recording material such as a heat-sensitive recording material and a pressure-sensitive recording material which are excellent in storage stability and color development sensitivity. SOLUTION: A mixed polyvalent metal salt of a benzoic acid derivative represented by the general formula (1) and another carboxylic acid (In the formula, R 11 represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group, R 12 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group, X 11 and X 12 represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, An alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aralkyl group, an aryl group or a nitro group, and Y represents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom), and the mixed polyvalent metal salt or the mixed polyvalent metal salt as an electron-accepting compound. A recording material containing a polyvalent metal salt composition. |
